Mexican affairs report that a military court sentenced General Cortina to death despite a telegraphic order from President Diaz to move the case to the capital. Cortina’s counsel calls the ruling illegal, claiming the transfer was ordered ten hours earlier. Cortina’s supporters allege the transfer is a ruse to shoot him en route, and General Canales says he will comply with the order, though transit to Mexico City is uncertain.
